The Darkstalker dimension is now home to a chunk of Chicago, and several of the Street Fighter characters. Morrigan gathers everyone at her castle, and strategises with the various, collaborating characters, before abdicating the throne to her sister, Lilith, and essentially banishing herself when she gives in to her dark side.

Though it’s a thrill seeing the line up of characters attending the castle here, there’s a weird lack of Street Fighter characters, and it feels much more like a standard Darkstalkers story with the occasional cameo.

There’s also some weird, oddly generic new characters involved, which is truly bizarre; why do this when the casts of both series are full of vibrant characters, and especially when there’s so many of them? It’s an odd choice (though perhaps it’ll be because these unmemorable characters are going to meet a sticky end?).

A cute backup strip pokes fun at the lack of Street Fighter characters in the main story, but this only serves to draw even more attention to it!

Though it has fun moments (and of course, the art is fantastic for the most part, as is to be expected from an UDON X Capcom comic), there’s too much exposition, a confusing choice of characters and an unexplained moment or two which feel somewhat out of place.

Certainly not up to the standards of entertainment I normally get with UDON’s Capcom licensed comics, i’m hoping this is just awkward set up for what’s going to be (fingers crossed) a fun series.
